Alternative lending

Everyone got a good idea about alternative investment which is not a conventional investment type like stock, bonds or FD. Mostly alternative investments are handled by large institutions and high net worth individuals. It has got regulations, tax consideration, investment costs, etc like any other conventional investment. 

Now it is the time to think about alternative lending. Let’s start with an example. Take Ramu the merchant who is running a grocery shop. As he is not having a good bank credit history or ITR filing, normally forced to take loan from lenders who are charging heavy interest rate of like 35-45%. 

Traditional credit score systems are forcing Ramu to approach the greedy lender. The digital credit score systems are accessible to only small percentage of population in India. For large population, past credit history is mostly unavailable or incomplete. So people like Ramu depend mostly on friends, relatives, self help groups and finally lenders who are charging high interest rates.

This type of borrowing may satisfy his short term needs but for long term he will fall in trouble in most of the cases. There are many people like Ramu, denied bank loans from traditional banking institution due to lack of credit history. Big banks can’t help the merchant like Ramu to keep the business afloat. Here comes the P2P lending.

These types of lending takes place through an online plat form that uses technology to bring together lenders and borrowers. Lenders here are investors who are seeking attractive yield in their investments.
Now the question arises. 

How the P2P or peer to peer lenders assess the credit worthiness of a potential borrower? 

Identifying right borrower at right time and right place is a challenge for the lenders as they are not using traditional credit scoring parameters. Lenders are depending other data like social media behaviour, mobile phone records and psychometric methods. Using these new data analytics methods, future predictability is possible with a good accuracy. 

Lenders are also customising product required for the borrower. For example Ramu, a grocery shop owner need credit for 1 month, where as a building material merchant require loan for quarterly basis. Their size of borrowing is also different. This will also change from place to place and time to time.

Digital infrastructure for loan distribution channel is an emerging area in India. They are mostly user friendly and hassle free. Borrowers are approaching these digital plat forms to reduce the head ache attached with getting a loan from a bank. So these sites are careful in their user interface approach. Thanks to the good and creative web designers. 

How much return a lender can expect from peer to peer lending?

This will be between 12% to 36% depending on the risk category of borrowers. 

Why you should look at peer to peer lending as an investment class?

This is a regulated business
Investment tenure is not long
Generally get high rate of return
Diversification scope
Regular cash flow 

Traditional investors who ready to take a little more risk, then their return will be really attractive. In India P2P lending was always there. Digital transactions are increasing in India. I think we will see a massive flow is P2P lending in coming years. 

How human capital helps in borrowing?

Every business requires money. Is there any growing business in this world that can say “No, we don’t need further investments”? Difficult to find one

So borrowing is a common term associated with doing business. It may be traditional or nontraditional. Last time, we were discussing about peer to peer lending and benefits availed by it.

Here I have few suggestions, if you are a small scale entrepreneur looking for lenders. In P2P lending, lenders are using unconventional data analysis to find out your credit worthiness. Same way it is also important to find out your debt equity ratio. Lenders or investors may not be interested if there is high debt equity ratio because it will negatively affect the repayment capacity of the firm. 

Intangible assets 

Here the borrower should really look into his intangible assets to make a fair debt equity ratio acceptable with the lenders.

How can he do that?

If you are doing a business where knowledge is the important factor, then transforming this intangible asset to tangible asset is your job. 

For Eg: Designer, architect or any other business where human skills are adding value to the growth.Before finding out the value of total intangible assets we have to look at the items constitutes for this category.

1. Individual competencies
2. Intellectual capital
3. Human capital
4. Trade marks, intellectual rights, Brand image, etc.
5. Strategic skills

There are many accepted norms for calculating the value of intangible assets. Higher the value greater is the chance for you to get the loan. 

So, next time when you are planning for applying a loan, assess your value of intangible assets.Other important point you need to consider is 

Key man insurance

Your firm is totally depending on the skills and intellectual capacity of your employees. What will happen to the company when death of a key employee adversely impacts the business? This is usually a big concern for lenders. 

How you can tackle it?

Easy method is to take a key man insurance policy. Premium expenditure will be treated in business expenditure and claims will be directly treated to business income. So having key man insurance will really increase your borrowing power. 

More than all, your credit worthiness is depends mostly on your book keeping policies, transparency, individual capacity to lead the business into target growth trajectory. 

Start preparing your financial plan run your business better than before

Investment reporting

Investment reporting is becoming an important subject in wealth management industry. Asset management is getting into a complex scenario with inclusion of new asset categories. So trust worthy investment reporting is a key to reach in clients.

Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) are giving guidelines for structuring investment reports.

Wrongly valued holdings, non disclosure of counter party risks are making gaps in investment reporting and thus making clients to reach in wrong assumptions.

There are few key areas investment reporting need improvement

•Reports should be clear and transparent.

•Counter party risks should be disclosed

•Present, time weighted as well as money weighted returns

•There should be transparent fee structure and will be conveyed to the client. Management fee, transaction fee, performance fee if any should be indicated properly in investment reporting. This is very important because in long term it will largely impact investor’s both gross off fee return and net off free return.

•Complex products like structured instruments, derivatives, insurance products will be recorded properly. How these asset classes are treated in decision support tools, holding statements, accounting statements will be mentioned.

•Data inconsistency will be assured

•SEBI and other regulatory authorities are constantly watching the reporting standards. So staying along with the regulatory trends is crucial.

•Most of the investment reporting focuses on asset allocation, portfolio performance, transaction summary etc and completely ignores accounting side and risk analysis side. So keep an eye on these areas.

•The report should be timely and accurate

•Source of data should be selected carefully

•Methodologies to reach certain calculation, for eg; XIRR should be disclosed in report or provided upon request.

•There should be an error correction policy.

•Production and control processes are periodically reviewed.

•Report should clearly convey investments made, results achieved, risks taken, and costs incurred

•The investment report provides the user of the report with appropriate comparative data such as index data, a customised benchmark like sensex, Nifty, S&P etc.

•All kind of corporate actions occurred during the investment period affecting the clients portfolio should be mentioned in report.

•It is not about more data, more foot notes; more graphs will produce a clear report. It is accuracy and readability of clients makes a report valuable.

Portfolio advisory systems

SNOWMAN LOGISTICS RISES AGAIN

Our top pick of the month snowman logistics is making 7% gain today 

Portfolio adviser should focus on his core function

How much is spent on necessary--but uncompensated--tasks that ultimately don't add value?

Is outsourcing the answer?

Results of a recent study revealed that over 40% of large brokerages outsource at least one back office function--and 97% planned to increase their level of outsourcing. Among smaller firms and independent RIAs, roughly 30% outsourced all their back office functions, according to a 2016 research, and 60% outsourced at least some of their back office tasks.

If you want clients to see you as picking funds, lots of people do that. But if you free up your time to provide full service, to devote more time to clients  that's how an entrepreneur thinks.If you want clients to see you as picking funds, lots of people do that. But if you free up your time to provide full service, to devote more time to clients and children of clients, that's how an entrepreneur thinks.

18% of advisories that outsourced portfolio management, nearly 60% saw significant growth in AUM. Of the 82% who managed investments internally, fewer than half saw growth in AUM.

From the client's perspective, firms who outsource back office tasks have a more professional, value-added presence. 

Advisors are able to offer a level of oversight and diversification previously reserved only for major brokerages--and they are able to spend their time on growth-oriented tasks that generate revenue and build AUM. Now might be a good time for RIAs to take a hard look at the tasks they really need to keep in-house and those that are better delegated to an outsourced partner.

You  focus on increasing your AUM, we will do the rest
